Shrine Game, Day One Notes

Posted Jan 18, 2011
Coming off a year-long suspension, UNC defensive tackle Marvin Austin did well for himself by showing up at a solid 312 lbs. He didn’t look slow or out of shape in practice, where the big man made a sizable impact. In 11 on 11s, Austin quickly disengaged from a block before making a nice stop. And on a passing play, he managed to get his hands up and deflect a Ricky Dobbs pass, adding to what was a good day for the DT. (Draft Breakdown)
